who's behind blue house energy?
Blue House Energy is an online building science education company that has trained more than 10,000 construction and renovation professionals since 2012.
The goal has always been simple: help people understand how buildings actually work so they can make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and build healthier, more durable homes.
who are we?
We’re the building science nerds who’ve spent years in the trenches trying to figure this stuff out too.
Since 1992, Blue House Energy CEO Shawna Henderson has worked in energy efficiency, R2000, Energy Advisor/ERS work, consulting, project management, construction, renovations, and building science education. That means decades spent walking through houses, solving comfort and moisture problems, working with builders and homeowners, and seeing the same building science mistakes happen again and again (and again…).
At some point, it started feeling like somebody needed to plug a USB cable into her skull and download everything she’d learned before it disappeared into the void.
That’s basically everything we do.
Offer solid knowledge about how buildings actually work, from people who’ve spent years dealing with these problems in the real world.
Because once you understand the why behind what’s happening inside a building, everything starts making a lot more sense.
